ID: A Sophie Labelle 4 panel comic featuring Stephie in different poses, saying:

Landlords do not provide housing.

They buy and Hold more space than they need for themselves.

Then, they create a false scarcity and profit off of it.

What they’re doing is literally the opposite of providing housing.

    Want to make a comic that’s just four panels of an unmoving rock? Still a comic.

    Sure, except that would be a somewhat shitty comic and anyone would have the right to say that if that’s their opinion.

    Between this and all the “how is this a meme?” comments. Most inane, useless comments. Maybe, just maybe, it wasn’t meant for you? Clearly it’s getting upvotes

    Maybe my comment wasn’t meant for you if it bothers you this much? Just move on bro.

      Let me help you.

      The comic, as many other do, revolves around the final panel where the character portrayed wandering in a state of frustration comes to the somewhat paradoxical conclusion that landlords, that supposedly provide housing, do the opposite.

      It’s political, but also plays on the relatableness of the situation and has a certain quirky dinamicity to it, with changes of location, gesturing and inbalanced poses.

      Its effect on some people is best summaryzed as “it’s funny because it’s true”.

        It’s 4 sentences with a hard hitting message. This doesn’t need to be in a comic 🤪

            Oh, I mean you’re not wrong. Let me adjust my message:

            I dislike this comic, not because of the message, but because it is in the form of a comic. Personally, I think it’s gimmicky and unnecessary to put this message in a comic. Though, I understand that the person trying to get this message out might use comics as their main platform, which then brings me to understand and respect their decision. Still, the comic adds nothing to the message, and that was my original point.

                  I dislike this painting, not because of the message, but because it is in the form of a painting. Personally, I think it’s gimmicky and unnecessary to put this message in a painting.

                    I hear ya, cool opinion.

                    Joking aside, I get it. Art is art. I respect it. Doesn’t change my opinion that the comic doesn’t add to the message. But I respect it.
